WARNING
You must follow these guidelines to ensure
that your refrigerator's safety mechanisms are
operating correctly.
• The refrigerator must be plugged into its own
dedicated 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC-only electric
outlet. The power cord of the appliance is
equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for your protection against electrical shock
hazards. It must be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
The receptacle must be installed in
accordance with local codes and ordinances.
Consult a qualified electrician. Do not use an
extension cord or adapter plug.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
be replaced by the manufacturer, service
technician or a qualified person to prevent
any risk.
• Never unplug the refrigerator by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle to
prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning
and before replacing a light bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
• Performance may be affected if the voltage
varies by 10% or more. Operating the
refrigerator with insufficient power can
damage the compressor. Such damage is not
covered under your warranty.
• Do not plug the unit into an outlet controlled
by a wall switch or pull cord to prevent the
refrigerator from being turned off accidentally.
• Avoid connecting refrigerator to a Ground
Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit.
